Since I’m a big fan of Nuance Salma Hayek Daytime Moisturizer with SPF, I decided to branch out and try an eye product from the Nuance brand. I chose the Nuance Salma Hayek AM/PM Anti-aging Super Eye Treatment. I just finished up the bottle, and I liked it. It’s a pump bottle, and I found …
Algenist Concentrated Reconstructing Serum
Several months ago while getting my hair re-redded at Vidal Sassoon, I was reading Vogue to pass the time. I saw an ad for a free sample of serum at Sephora from Algenist, a brand unknown to me. When I get my hair colored, I don’t bother wearing makeup since it would come off anyway. …

OWN Refining Moisture Night Cream
For years, I was true to my favorite moisturizer/night cream. It did a great job, was readily available, and affordable. I still really like it, but since becoming a blogger I have discovered other wonderful moisturizers. OWN Refining Moisture Night Cream is one that I’ve been cheating on Olay Regenerist with lately. I “bought” OWN …
OWN Firming Silk Concentrate
Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to try OWN Firming Silk Concentrate, an anti-aging product, from OWN Skin Health. Like the OWN Lifting Eye Cream and Refining Moisture Night Cream, I received it from iFabbo, an organization for beauty and style bloggers. I liked those two products, and I am a serum user, so …

Etude House Princess Etoinette Crystal Shine Lipstick PPK003
I put it off for months, hoping I’d forget about Etoinette Crystal Shine Lipstick, part of the Princess Etoinette Holiday 2012 Collection from Etude House. I had come across a photo of the lipstick on Pinterest back in January, and it has been on my mind since then. How pathetic! I am such a sucker …
Onyx Professional 3 • 2 • 1 Nail Dry!: Affordable Manicure Spray

Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex SPF 15
A few weeks ago, I reviewed Hydroxatone BB Cream, a product that I really liked. So I was happy to have a chance to try another Hydroxatone product, Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex, provided from iFabbo, the beauty and fashion blogger organization. On the front of the box, it says that Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex SPF …
essence I Love Stage Eyeshadow Base
I seem to be on a quest to find a good eyeshadow base or primer. I used to use Urban Decay Primer Potion, and I liked it. But maybe my skin got drier, or maybe the formula changed. The UDPP was so drying that my eyeshadow literally cracked on my eye lid. Not a good …
essence Coverstick Concealer
A couple of weeks ago at Ulta, I picked up another bargain, essence Coverstick concealer. Down at the bottom of the essence display, I spied testers with three tubes representing three shades of concealer. The lightest shade, 01 Matt Sand, was a perfect match for me. I tried the tester, and I was happy …
Ageless Derma Daily Mineral Guard SPF 25
The other day, my brother sent me an email with an intriguing subject: If you can guess who this is, I’ll give you a dollar. I looked at the photo of a thin, older woman with sort of yellow hair and a very wrinkled face. I had no clue. He emailed back that it was …
Dr. Scholl’s For Her High Heel Insoles
A few weeks ago, I was sent a pair of Dr. Scholl’s For Her High Heel Insoles to try out. I haven’t been wearing real high heels lately, so it’s taken me a while to take these babies for a test run. I decided to do a “torture test” experiment with the insoles. A …
